Welcome Back, Welcome Back.

America's all-time favorite white rapper is back (andy samberg for me!). Last night on Mtv the frist video to the first single on his newest and not yet relesed album, Relapse premeired. If you saw the video you witnessed him impersionate Spock, Tony Romo, Brett Michaels, Elvis & himself. Only one rapper would ever include such stuff in one video and be able to pull it off without anyone giving a f---. If you haven't guessed it yet or just flat out can't tell from the picture, i'm talking about Em aka eminem aka slim shady aka marshall aka marshall mathers aka white guy from 8mile aka guy who hates his mom aka whitey that raps with dr. dre aka that white guy who raps better than black guys aka the only rapper pat likes .

Em's been M.I.A. for 3 years and his fans have awaited his return for quite some time. [Similar to how Cubs fans pray & worship false gods in hope of the return of the Commisioners Trophy to their slumping franchise.] But never once did anyone believe that Em was truly staying retired because really who just retires for good anymore (thanks MJ & word to Brett FAV-ra). So now that Em's back everything in the world should be right again. Cause after listening to his first single and watching the video this is the same ol' Eminem. I mean that 1999 Em aka Slim Shady.

It honestly makes me mad cause without a doubt, if Marshall Mathers tried he could've been one of the greatest. But it seems like he is gonna follow the same marketing plan he's had the last two albums. Its as simply as this: release first song off the album thats very socially up to date and that is a direct shot at most celebrties (My Name is & The Real Slim Shady), shoot video for it filled with bullshit. Next release 2nd single (Guilty Conscience & The Way I Am) with a shitty subject matter but with such witty word play that "you keep asking yourself if its possible for white guys to actually rap on beat as well as Em does?" But really what can you say, this guy has been one of the last 4 successful selling rappers in the last 9 years. (50, Kanye & Wayne).

What puts me off the most is that Stan by far is one of the top 10 rap songs by Em but he would rather put garbage out like the last two singles and his newest single. Personally I'd love for Em to be serious all the time because I feel like he has many more Stan, Mocking Bird, Lose Yourself & Sing for the Moment type songs in his repretoire. But I doubt they will ever see the light of day or just maybe I'm putting Em on a pedestal. Maybe he is only capable of making 5 shitty songs & making 1 really good one everytime he goes into the booth to record. Desipte my gripes i'm glad Em's back so with all that said Welcome Back White Guy Who Raps Better Than Most Black Guys.................. Welcome Back.
